Ingredients
- 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese softened
- 1/2 cup Spinach chopped
- 1/3 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded
- 1 clove Garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Add the softened cream cheese, chopped spinach, mozzarella, Parmesan, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning to a medium bowl. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, cut a deep horizontal pocket into the side of each chicken breast.
- Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly among the chicken breasts. Spoon the filling into each pocket and gently press the chicken closed around it.
- Brush or rub the chicken breasts with olive oil. Sprinkle both sides with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between them. Air fry for 16 to 20 minutes, flipping carefully halfway through cooking.
- Insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken, avoiding the filling. The chicken is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes and serve.
